Decided to make a PH skin for the TVR...
It is really a Work In Progress for now, incase any suggestions come in and I need to make changes..

Here it is now.. let me know what you think and if it's any good I will release it





One thing I might have to change is the stripey bit, so it meets up with the intake, and also get rid of those lines that form a 'triangle' just under the TVR logo.. No idea how they got there

I'm not sure if it's your graphics settings or not, but the car looks a bit "flat" (do you know what I mean?). Is there a way to sort that out with the skin or is it in the engine somewhere?

I know what you mean, it's just the way I have compressed the screenshots, my graphics etc...

Looks better in-game.. just the same as a normal skin by Simbin/10T
But obviously better as it has some good quality branding on it

I can release later on if nobody has posted improvements.. I can always release a 1.1 update

I might try another version soon for something like the 906, GT40, 911, or a set of Minis. Which brings me to start:

Come on people, only 7 votes?!
I'll probably start skinning later.. looks to me as though people are voting for their league cars

Posted on RSC for criticism aswell, which I am sure will come in it's masses..

Dave can you send me details on how to do this, I'd like to have a go.

Obviously I'd need a new monitor...

Have ordered a funky new Viewsonic 19" and a 17" through work, and need to figure out which one I want...

I voted 911. I never drive it but it's just a PH-y kind of car.

As I'll soon be racing a real Lotus Elan 26R, I might have to get you to recreate it in GTL for total realism .. It'll be red with white stripes.

Bring us photos from all angles and I'll have it done in 3 days
Bet that would be a bloody good gift for someone who races, having their car recreatred exactly in-game.

I thought the GT40 would be a good choice because there is only 1 skin for it at the moment - nice to have a bit of variety supplied by UncleDave da Vinci

Excellent News!

I've been fiddling around for a while, and gonna make these releases perfect
Found out how to do the video of the new addon car.. so messign with Adobe Premiere now... but better still.. and wait for it..

WE CAN HAVE A PISTONHEADS MINI PACK

in other words we can add more minis available in the game, just for us, whilst keeping the standard ones.

However, these extra PH minis would only work on our server.. but who cares
Lemme know your thoughts, then we can start choosing colour combinations for each interested person

Dave.
